Frostpunk. OMG never have I played a game like this. It was emotionally exhausting and I didn't realize it until I finished the first scenario. I was like if been holding my breath for a few weeks and was finally able to let it out. Started a second scenario and I honestly don't think I can do it again. I loved it but WOW.
Buddhism. Was raised Christian and my parents forced me to continue going to church even when things started to not make sense in early high school. Went from "You must go to church with us," to "You must go to church SOMEWHERE."
In college, I considered Islam, Taoism, and Buddhism but nothing stuck so I stayed with what was familiar. Finally came back to Buddhism a couple years ago and was like "Yep. This is it." To me, Christianity is a constant moving target that will never be reached in terms of what you're supposed to do and not to and it will generally always be your fault when bad things happen because reasons. It's something you have to carry with you your whole life.
When I first really started learning about Buddhism and learned that it's like a raft that you use to get yourself across the river and you out it down when you don't need it anymore, I was like YES PLEASE SOMETHING ATTAINABLE, EMPOWERING, AND MAKES SENSE.
I can relate but lack of socializing in college didn't bother me (I'm an introvert). Didn't make any friends during undergrad and made some friends during my grad program that I still talk to but most of my friends are from high school.
Everyone's college experience is different and just because it didn't check certain boxes (unless they're important to YOU), that doesn't mean you failed. I think it's put out there to be this special time in your life but "special" is subjective.
As a (former?) camper, I did it because I was never good at moving and shooting at the same time. I also wasn't the best camper either, that's why I never played online.
It has its uses but I can absolutely see how it's frustrating for other players in certain games like COD.
They're still your problems! No need to rob yourself of feeling the gravity of your own situation within your own frame of reference ☺ perspective can be helpful though.
Like someone already said, less hot. Kid is going back to school this week and while I'm not thrilled about having to get up earlier, I'm extra thrilled about being alone on my off days ☺
Not an exotic pet owner but wanted to say this post was thoroughly enjoyable. I'd like to own an iguana one day, possibly birds again, and it's cool learning about others exotic oet experiences!
Fresh veggies. Grew up on canned stuff, mainly green beans and peas and carrots. Still not a huge vegetables fan but canned ANYTHING doesn't even register for me unless it's a recipe ingredient.
Butter was also an eye opener after growing up with margarine and I even got my parents to switch to it ☺
LOTS of songs from Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory. A lot of the songs came flooding back as I tried to list them. I might exceed the character limit if I tried! So many beautiful songs ☺
Human troubleshooting (I'm a therapist). My dad is an engineer who always built his own PCs and gave me a pretty solid foundation for the software side of things, as well as basic car knowledge. Haven't kept up on that in a while but I'm Tier 1 tech support for my parents (my brother is Tier 2) 😂
Yes. There's less content to scroll through here (not a bad thing) so ensures scrolling isn't a thing anymore. I'll still visit a certain Reddit sub from time to time but at some point I'll probably let that go too.
Exactly. I remember I used to try to have the most "friends" possible but at some point it was like "yeah I don't actually talk to these people and I don't think I will." Used to also keep FB for certain groups I was part of but in the end, there was just no point.
Sorry to hear that things aren't going well 😔 hello fellow Pikmin player! How does it compare to other games in the series?
